¹ tn Heb “and all Israel was crossing over on dry ground until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.”

² tn Heb “the people.”

³ tn Or “the shout.”

⁴ tn Heb “do not let a word come out of your mouths.”

⁵ tn Or “the shout.”

⁶ tn Or “the shout.”

⁷ sn Tearing one’s clothes was an outward expression of extreme sorrow (see Gen 37:34; 44:13).

⁸ tn Or “elders.”

⁹ tn Heb “and fell on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel.”

¹⁰ sn Throwing dirt on one’s head was an outward expression of extreme sorrow (see Lam 2:10; Ezek 27:30).

¹² tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

¹³ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

¹⁴ tn Or “live.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly for judgment.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “until the death of the high priest who is in those days.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “may return and enter his city and his house, the city from which he escaped.”
